In May, Faith Trekkers grades 1 through 6 - plus a bonus 4 year old! - learned in our Carpenter's Workshop (other workshops included music, games & storytelling, art, and creative writing) that just like Paul, we can spread the word of Jesus Christ, and help to convert or change the minds of those who don't yet know.  From Acts 16:11-40, Lydia's baptism and hospitality were highlighted.  We learned that Lydia was a woman who had a home to share, and opened it generously to Paul and Silas.

Our memory verse was, "⁶Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. ⁷And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Our children built birdhouses - symbols of hospitality - with the help of a carpenter in our congregation.  The children learned about tools and construction... as they learned about hospitality!
